Dunkertons Cider and Perry


Dunkertons can be found approximately one mile outside the ancient parish of Pembridge, a quintessential English village.
In keeping the tradition alive a large number of perry pear trees were planted in 2005. Twelve different varieties, Brandy, Yellow Huffcap, Judge Amphlett, Green House, Helens Early, Gin, Moorcroft, Greggs Pitt, Butt, Winnals Longdon and Hendre.
The cider and perry is organic, Dunkertons having held 'Soil Association Standard' since 1988. Sophisticated farmhouse cider!
PERRY
Possible the only organic perry in the UK? Smooth, delicate, slightly dry to the palate pear taste, with a hint of lightness.
PREMIUM
Smooth, refreshing at first, leaving a dry (with a hint of sweetness) appley taste on the back of the throat.
BLACKFOX
Medium dry with a delicate kick. Watch out for shadows, there lies the 'Black Fox'. Dry smooth with a hint of sharpness. Lovely aftertaste, which stays on the back of the throat for ages.
